Overview InfraStruXure Power Generation System The InfraStruXure Power Generation System consists of a diesel-powered generator and a Smart Distribution Panel with Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The ATS is connected to both the utility (Source 1) and the generator (Source 2), with the utility as the preferred source. The ATS can alternatively be connected to a second utility. The ATS is designed for installation on the data center floor, which places power distribution closer to your data

How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Generator start sequence The generator start sequence is followed only if the Crank setting in the Operating Settings menu on the Generator Settings screen on the ATS display interface is set to Yes. If enabled, the following sequence will occur: After a start signal is initiated, either by the ATS or manually, and the generator battery is good, the generator engine will crank and the generator should start. If the generator does not star

How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Open and closed transfers When transfers are not occurring, one switch is ON and one switch is OFF. During a closed transfer, the second switch will turn ON before the first switch turns OFF, creating a brief period of time when both switches are ON. Closed Transfer Source 1 Source 1 Source 2 Source 2 t=miliseconds During an open transfer, the first switch will turn OFF before the second switch turns ON, creating a period of time when nei

How the InfraStruXure Power Generation System Operates Fuel monitoring/runtime calculation Fuel monitoring is a unique feature of the InfraStruXure Power Generation System. Fuel level is monitored at the generator (if purchased through APC) and load is measured at the ATS. These measurements are used to calculate runtime, as explained in the following paragraph: Fuel is monitored by a level sensor in the generator fuel tank (calibrated to the bottom of the tank) that changes readings every -
